14. Tesla (used) w/grandfathered unlimited charging

They're cheap and the cost of ownership compared to an ICE vehicle goes down with use. The Tesla Web site shows which used ones have unlimited supercharging. Most people don't realize when they drop $35,000 for a new VW or Dodge, they could have purchased one of these primo Teslas! Power to those who look it up.

No range anxiety. The computer figures out everything. The driver is just a stooge that follows what it says. If I'm driving too fast to reach my destination, the car tells me to slow down. In routes where I don't like to slow down, I simply charge a little longer prior to that leg. There's nowhere I cannot take my Telsa, including remote areas, but it sometimes requires planning. I have charging adapters so I can charge at campgrounds, using the RV hookups. Thus far, I have paid $0.00 in three years to travel about 20,000 miles.

I've taken it from the southern U.S. to the northern U.S. It just takes longer to reach my destination. But when I arrive, I arrive in style!! My car's range is still over 242 miles. The lowest I've run the battery down to has been 24 miles. The computer's calculations for range are solid.

I don't really watch the miles remaining anymore, it's irrelevant. I only watch my percentage battery remaining to my destination. That's the true indicator of how I'm doing and why I have no range anxiety. It's never been wrong in a bad way. Most times I arrive with more than it forecast, because I'm smooth with my foot and I don't regularly drive faster than the flow of traffic.
